Book 40: Ragtime

It's week 26 of the year, so half way! This was a challenge from the 52 Books Blog to read a book from the New York Times Bestseller list from the month of one's birth.



This cover sure looks like it's from 1975!

There was a definite rhythm to the writing, like ragtime music. Toward the end, the choppiness gradually changed to a smoother rhythm, as the ragtime era described in the book passed. The writing was wonderful; the story was sometimes a bit disturbing. For a while, I considered giving up on it, but I'm ultimately glad I finished.
